  • @EllisFitz1995 I have no idea who you are, I'm not a smartarse and never use the word grid in place of mouth you fucking fool.

    Good day

  • @WickyWiggstaz listen smartass. shut ur grid

  • @Weebigballs No, ex D company 3 PWRR and now out and preparing to go to Sandhurst....joining the Armoured Corps though, it's a better life!

  • @WickyWiggstaz all i can remember on the firing range fired from bout 300 yards and cleaning the feckin rifle haha, ya i no the tali fire the 7.62

    whats your specialization arms dealer or somin xD

  • @ddpoopooyeah2 Well the SLR is and isn't, I am personally a large fan of the L1A1, however it is very long and doesn't give a good rate of fire, whereas with an SA80A2 I can put 3-4 rounds onto a small area in quick succession. We have introduced a a marksman weapon, an AR concept rifle that fires the NATO standard 7.62x51. Personally if we were to change calibre of standard infantry weapons again, my bets would be on the 6.8x43 remington, somewhere between 7.62x51 and the 5.56x45

  • @Weebigballs Totally incorrect, the Taliban are using a 7.62x39, which is effective (but not accurate) up to 500 yds and also the Ak74 uses a 5.45x39, effective out to 600, finally they use the 7.62x54R usually in a dragunov which again is only good out to 700-800 yds (in good condition). Only thing they're putting out effectively at 800 is the PKM (again 7,62x54R) but that is in effect their take on the L7A2 which we use (7.62x51). We can engage them beyond 300yds, I shoot the SA80A2 at 600

  • im not even american braa.

  • @Weebigballs Looks dont mean anything it a war zone mate. I think you need to do your research regarding rifle calibre as well. A british soldier with his sa80 at 500m will have a far better chance of getting a kill than a taliban fighter firing a 7.62 who doesnt know which end of the rofile the bullet comes out of!

  • @Chingchong052 it's been used since 2002. heckler and koch improved the sa80. before then the rifle was terrible. now it's one of the most accurate and reliable assault rifles

  • @anonarob stupid british, go teabag your mom.
